How many laws does Wien have?

[edit]

So far I've found three laws by Wien:

Is this true? How many laws does he have? Anyone know? Also, the top two need to go to lower case. --Sadi Carnot 02:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The first two laws are the same. All of them were discovered by Wilhelm Wien, see de:Wilhelm Wien. --Qaywsxedc (talk) 21:33, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

[edit]

There should be some pronunciation guide displayed on this page. His name is German, and we (English speakers) should use German pronunciation rules, instead of our English/american ones. I know it's not pronounced "wine", and I've been taught that his name was pronounced "veen", but another site online suggests "vain" as the pronunciation. So, we need some clarification from a German speaker. William Moates (talk) 15:27, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a native German speaker, and the correct pronunciation is "veen". See also the article Vienna (German: Wien IPA: [/viːn/]). Regards, --D.H (talk) 16:13, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
